has anyone taken the time to compile a listing of possible Smart VU(tm)
codes produced by the PC's Limited 286 machines?
What follows below are codes that I have been able to identify given
my ROM version (A00-04).
send additions, corrections to me and i can recompile a list. also, if
you're the proud owner of the SmartVU(tm) with the chasing LEDs, let me
know if you're interested in toggling it on and off.
